Sketches to AI Renders – Exploration

This project is an ongoing exploration into transforming my sketching line style into final rendered outputs — ranging from realistic 3D-style renders to painterly watercolors. The goal is to merge the expressiveness of hand-drawn sketches with the power of AI generation, creating visuals that keep the authenticity of the linework while evolving into fully finished images.

The process involves experimenting with multiple AI pipelines in ComfyUI, using different approaches to guide and control the output:

• ControlNet for structure and fidelity when preserving the exact sketch composition.

• Flux Kontext model to generate more abstract, interpretive results.

• LORAs for fine-tuning and applying specific stylistic qualities.

These explorations are as much about process and control as they are about outcomes — testing how far hand-drawn intent can guide AI, and how the two worlds can merge into new kinds of image-making.
